She didn’t even try to hide being frustrated with the translator. Most languages don’t have logical word-for-word translations of others. Chinese is one that can be especially tricky to translate back and forth, so no shit there’s going to be some interpretations that the translator will have to think about to make the translation understandable to him.

[@alexanderpumpkin3423]

And the translator doesn’t know what he know so she has to go through the full context

RIGHT it’s like she thinks that all languages follow the same syntax and grammar... it’s so much more difficult to translate languages seamlessly, especially a more complex language like Mandarin. her behavior was repulsive.

Not really, some sentences in Chinese are just longer compared to their English counterparts.

[@ghostbat73]

[@pawelodziomek4908]

As a person that fluently speaks two languages I can tell you translating live is REALLY hard. You can't just translate literally as most of the time it would make absolutely no sense. You constantly have to think of what the best way to translate a sentence would be and what to say. I can't even imagine having to do all of that while being live in front of thousands of people and even more behind a television. Ellen was being very rude there

[@meowbieenz]

So it really pissed me off when Ellen would blatantly ignore the stressful situation of being able to translate English to Chinese mandarin. And it also seemed that the interpreter was also somewhat starting her 20’s so of course her Chinese wouldn’t be as professional as a professional translator. I’m really proud of her tbh💓

Ellen cut her off and assumed that because the woman was taking longer, she wasn't doing her job properly. It kind of goes to show how ignorant/disrespectful she is. lmao edit: please stop bringing up political issues in the reply section of a youtube comment.

Xochilt Aviles yup exactly! and chinese is even harder to translate from/into english. being such a privileged white woman with a massive platform she should use it for good rather than to make a joke out of ignorance towards other languages and cultures. the fact that she can't wait 30 seconds for someone to translate something she doesn't understand and instead tries to make fun of it is such a waste of a huge platform. it's also just completely ignorant. from what i understand you're fluent in at least 3 languages, and that's an amazing skill. for the translator to be fluent in a chinese language and english is also an amazing skill, and they're just trying to do their job. it's only human to trip up on translating something, i know from experience, because like you said half the time the words dont even translate properly. chinese and english are on like opposite ends of the spectrum too. it's hard enough translating those two, but also to be put on the spot, hurried and pretty much made fun of on national television? i cannot believe how privileged ellen thinks she is to be so ignorant to that she acts like that when she can only speak english.

In his classroom he had gifts from other students already, and my thought process was like 'well, he doesn't have to hang this up, I just want to let him know I appreciate him.' I gave it to him before winter break and he said he loved it. I got a hug. I felt satisfied that I'd done something for a person I looked up to. For all I know, he could have been lying about liking the painting, and that would be totally fine as long as he keeps it to himself. What matters is that he never took my artwork, showed it to the class and went 'how lame is this? It looks bad! c'mon, agree with me!' I think rejection like that would have destroyed me emotionally lol. I really hope the fan who made the painting didn't see that episode, or at least that it didn't bother them.

Regardless, she was done by the time Ellen rudely interrupted her, and her translation was accurate. Regarding translations, due to differences in language structure, sometime a short sentence in one language can be long in another one (I'm fluent in 3 languages). For example, Chinese does not have verb tense, the time is situational. Therefore, you have to be specific regarding the time if you want to make the sentence clear. Instead of saying "you played the ukulele and now you play the guitar, what else do you want to learn", you have to say "in the past you played the ukulele, and now you play the guitar, what else do you want to learn in the future". Hence how it takes longer to say certain things.

[@daan8695]

kittypie Exactly. It is so insensitive to force someone to announce before they are ready.

[@anniedangerface]

kittypie - One of my dear friends got pregnant with her second child, was very excited and told everyone, and then miscarried in her 2nd-3rd month. So with her third child, she didn't tell anyone besides a couple close friends, and some family, until her 4th month. I watched my own mother go through 4 miscarriages, each time she lost the child in the first couple months. Miscarriages aren't at all uncommon, especially with women 30+, specifically in the first trimester. So lots of women don't say anything until their second trimester. To force someone into announcing it is just despicable and heartless.

I’m not fluent in Chinese but I’m familiar with the structure and some words. Here’s why what Ellen did was especially messed up. The translator was starting with the first question since the second one was a follow-up to it. That meant repeating the names of the instruments, which are western, so the translation involves a sound-for-sound deconstruction that can lengthen certain syllables. Additionally, the second question is also more complex than in english-the structure is “subject preposition verb” so it would have the same conciseness of “you additionally would like to learn what?” Put that together and it sounds long because of all the sounds she’s making, but it’s really just a simple translation.

They might have used a bit too much orange and maybe they weren’t entirely experienced with shading, but it was *good* And finally, D. It is so, so clear that whoever made that put so much effort and time into it. It isn’t like this is a five minute pencil sketch (which might be the best sketch in the world who knows), this was *paint* which takes time to dry and layer and even plan out.

The colors are a bit off, but they definitely nailed the values which makes the colors look more accurate and from what I've seen students tend to struggle more with value than color so that's really impressive especially if I'm right about this artist being 14-16.

​@@NotAFanOfHandles Seriously though- even my Mom, who's obviously a target 'boomer' demographic, always thought she was rude and not particularly funny.. I think it's probably because Ellen targets the lowest common denominator in terms of "hurr-hurr" point-and-laugh audience participation, paired with a condescending attitude. It's not even deadpan, because that would poke fun at some people's biggest ego trip moments. Like, for example, with Mariah Carey, you can poke fun at her documented diva behaviour, because you're punching up, and it's no skin off her behind. But even for someone like Mariah Carey, which none of us can really relate to, she weirdly punches down to something very personal and private, like her personal pregnancy journey, tries to make her drink to weasel it out of her, and then Mariah miscarries a week later. I don't care if she's a millionaire/billionaire- lots of women don't mention their pregnancy early because they're worried about miscarriages, especially if they're particularly vulnerable to them (which I think I read somewhere Mariah was- hence the not wanting to mention it). It's just gross all around. (Not to mention all this B.S. is doubled-down when she tries to swill literal clothing with hearts and the words 'love' on it at Walmart. Double-barf.)
